I am the man of La Mancha
Searching for wrongs to right
And giants to slay.
I may be the last
And many years may pass
But to the knightly code I must hold fast.
I a knight-errant.
My quest ne’er ending
My faith ne’er wavering.
Searching for wrongs to right
And giants to slay
I am the man of La Mancha.

I've always been a fan of Miguel Cervantes. This poem is a reflection of my admiration for Mr. Don Quixote. Quixote is mad perhaps, but he is also pure and innocent. His motives are hounorable. To me, he is to Cervantes, the embodiment of the sad death of Chivalry, the code of the knights, would die with them as the knights became obsolete.
It's part mockery, part mounful dirge. The passing of Don Quixote means the end of honor. Albeit he see's giants in windmills, he is at heart a knight. At times, it's honourable to hold onto a Quixotic dream, rather than abandon it for reason. What is at first considered madness, can result in something great, something new. Do inventions come from bold thinkers? Or orthodoxy? Justin Latimer. 2009-MMIX |

Cervantes was the Spanish Shakespeare. Seriously. They both lived during the same time and died at the same day. (I think I don't remember...I used to love my lit class)
I love Cervantes! I haven't read the whole story either but I know it well enough. Have you ever seen the musica "Man of La Mancha?" Lol. I like it, kinda silly though.
He's a real tragic character in a kind of way. But I love how in his blindness to reality he see's something special in Dulcinea. His world's really better. His friend never should have revealed the truth to him, it ruined him.
I suppose that's one of the points though.
Cervantes was a good writer.

Aww yeah that part was so sweet. Dulcinea was really a good person after all.
It's very melodramatic actually... XD
Yeah! ^_^ That's why Don Quijote is amazing. ^_^
